For the past few days a co-worker pressed me to read Matt Taibbi's A Christmas Message From America's Rich from December 22, 2011. Reluctantly, I found myself on the page this morning. It is well worth the read.

Today’s corporations have failed to realize that they too must act as citizens of the United States, and not just play lip service to the flag while selling the nation out to the highest bidder.
